    Yes, but they will be grossly overqualified.  I actually know one Petroleum Engineer who, with his two brothers, owns several gas stations in New Jersey.   On weekends he helps to manage the stations.

    They can tend the till, clean the loo, tend to the daily maintenance of the facility, ... If they know how to repair cars, they can do that too.

    You don't need a degree to work in a petrol station.

    Perhaps you mean an oil refinery?

    Sounds like a question from the UK. There very few jobs in a petrol station that a petroleum engineer could not do. If the station offered major automotive repair then the engineer would probably not be qualified but then I has been my experience most people making major automotive repairs are not qualified either.
